Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, without any unnecessary decorations or ornaments.

Song Zhi walked over to sit down opposite the nun. The nun pushed the brewed tea in front of her and said, "I have read the letter you wrote to me earlier, but I am old and powerless. I can only agree to meet you to express my regret."

Song Zhi's eyes were deep. "Since you have such a heart, are you really willing to waste your time here?"

The nun shook her head and chanted a few Buddhist names. "I tried, but failed. This might be the best place for me."

"No, this is just your compromise destination."

Song Zhi said seriously, "My impression of General Xin is that she's as brave as any man. With a red tasseled spear, she could speak directly to the Emperor and speak out for the injustice suffered by women. She could debate with scholars and leave civil and military officials speechless. She could also defend her country and intimidate neighboring nations for ten years. A General Xin like her would never look so resigned and resigned as she does now."

These words seemed to remind the other party of his youthful vigor and vitality, and a glimmer of light flashed in his calm eyes.

But this glimmer of light soon died down, "The past is like smoke, no need to mention it again."

"General Xin!"

"Don't call me General anymore. I'm no longer a General."

Song Zhi sighed and said, "I know you're still feeling aggrieved about what happened back then, but some things have to be done by someone."

Not every woman is as lucky as she is to meet an open-minded father like Song Yang. Most women in this world are deeply poisoned by the patriarchal society. They are abused, oppressed, treated as objects and playthings, and their lives are as worthless as grass.

No matter how talented they were, women were never given equal opportunities to take imperial examinations.

Back then, General Xin Wanyun had to disguise herself as a man in order to achieve success on the battlefield.

Later, she returned triumphantly and revealed her identity as a woman in front of everyone, wanting to prove to the world who said women were inferior to men. Whatever men can do, women can do too.

But her "rebelliousness" was obviously not accepted by the male court officials.

Although he was a hero who won the battle, he was almost imprisoned and executed for concealing his identity and deceiving the emperor.

In the end, the emperor was concerned about her merits and was afraid that if he sentenced her to death, the border would become restless again. He was also afraid of being criticized by the people, so he took away her military power and sent her to Wanfo Temple to practice asceticism.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost ten years.

During these ten years, Meng Qi gradually gained fame and became the new general commander.

The border is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone seems to have slowly forgotten the female general who was brave and good at fighting and spoke out for the status of women.

But Song Zhi did not forget, because she took this huge step, and the women who benefited from it did not forget either.

"General Xin."

Song Zhi spoke sincerely, "And today, the customs of Qi are more open, and it's no longer difficult for women to divorce. I just broke off the Crown Prince's engagement not long ago. There are also many women who are in charge of business, such as my good friend Liu Ruoyu. It's all because of the good start you set and the example you set."

Hearing this, Xin Wanyun's eyelids twitched violently, and a touch of emotion appeared on her calm face. "You...are you telling the truth?"

Xin Wanyun's voice trembled slightly.

"Of course, the emperor just blocked the news and didn't want you to know about this, so you have been kept in the dark."

"That's great, that's great."

Xin Wanyun's eyes suddenly became moist. She thought she had converted to Buddhism and had seen through the mundane world. Although she didn't want to mention it, she was still deeply touched.

Her efforts were not in vain, the seeds she sowed bore fruit.

Song Zhi's eyes were filled with eagerness. "So, General Xin, are you willing to re-enter the world and redefine it with me?"

"But……"

"If you compromise, what will happen to those women who are still trying to resist? What will happen to those women who are suffering and being oppressed? In such a vast country, where can they find a place? Can they only stay in the men's backyard?"

"You allow me to think about it."

"I believe General Xin will not let me down."

Song Zhi didn't say anything more. She knew that when persuading someone, she couldn't push too hard, otherwise it would make the other person feel rebellious.

After finishing the tea in the cup, Song Zhi stood up and bowed, "It's getting late, I won't bother you any more."

When we arrived outside the bamboo forest, Xiaotao had been waiting outside for a long time.

Song Zhi looked back at the thatched hut and saw Xin Wanyun still standing at the window watching her go.

She smiled and waved, then walked back to the Zen room under the moonlight.

For the next two days, Song Zhi went to the thatched cottage to talk to Xin Wanyun on time every day, but she never mentioned anything about entering the world again.

The two gradually became familiar with each other, and Xin Wanyun was no longer as vigilant and defensive as she was at the beginning.

It was not until the evening of the third day, just as the sun was setting, that a wisp of green smoke suddenly rose from the originally quiet and peaceful thatched hut. Then the smoke became thicker and thicker, drifting towards the sky with the wind.

Driven by the wind, the entire thatched hut was engulfed in flames almost in the blink of an eye.

There was a crackling sound, and soon the thatched hut turned into ashes.

When Xin Wanyun and Song Zhi came back from outside, they just saw the last spark go out.

Seeing this scene, Xin Wanyun's face changed drastically, "This..."

Song Zhi was overjoyed. She actually saved Xin Wanyun!

Every evening, Xin Wanyun would recite scriptures in the house. In her previous life, at this time, she was burned to death in her thatched hut.

When the news reached the capital, the emperor buried her with great sorrow.

But why did the thatched house suddenly catch fire? This question is thought-provoking.

Fortunately, in this life, she found an excuse to take Xin Wanyun out and missed this moment, thus avoiding an untimely death.

As if she had thought of something, Xin Wanyun looked at Song Zhi gratefully, "It's a good thing you called me out."

Song Zhi chuckled.

Xin Wanyun gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't expect that even though I've cooperated so well, the Heavenly Family still won't let me go."

Song Zhi didn't say anything. In fact, she also guessed that the assassination was arranged by the emperor, but she had no evidence.

After all, Xin Wanyun's existence was a provocation to the imperial power. She was not killed back then because she had just returned from the battlefield and had a high reputation among the people.

Now that she has wasted ten years in Wanfo Temple and the people have almost forgotten this female general, it is time to take action.

Xin Wanyun was furious for a long time, then calmed down and became a little worried. "Although I escaped this time, the people he sent will definitely attack again if they find out I'm not in the house."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Well, actually, I may have already helped you with this."

She knew the whole story of this incident in her previous life, so she asked Mu Nanqi's secret guards to find a female corpse and put it in the house in advance.

Anyway, those secret guards are following her, so it would be a waste if they are not used.

Because she was so thorough, the people sent by the emperor did not find anything unusual and probably went back to report with the female corpse that was burned beyond recognition.
